What if you made it a hotline phone with your local area code as the hotline DN? Then users could lift the handset and just dial local phone numbers. Probably not the best solution but maybe it will work for you.
Adding to my previous post, you could set key 0 as SCN (No ringing), the arrow would flash if being called from internal, but the phone would not ring.
then make it a non used 6000 or any other vacant number, if you have the package you can make it 6 digits as opposed to 3 or 4, you can also use a standard number and hard call forward it to the console, or use ld 49 for just external callers to that did number to go to the console. hot d to 9, will give users an outside line if the phone is labeled with dialing instructions. mnl in cls and ftr hot d 1 9 will do that. you can't call a analog station in you remove the ringer. i have a self that has no ring generator for outbound modem lines as a additional security level, you can't hackin through a modem if you can't ring it
can you dial your 8xxx extensions directly from the outside? if so, then those are direct dial numbers. You said you want the phone to be used for outbound local so if you make it a hotline just to 9 you will need to make sure it's restricted from dialing anywhere else besides locally.
yes that works but your paying for a did number and not using it. in most switches their are numerous ways to do anything. our truckers waiting area does a hot d 1 9, which dials 9 when you pick it up. they are 2500 style sets without ringers.. you use it as if it were a home phone. to call back in the building you would have to dial the 7 digit number. it's there for drivers to call dispatch and i have a timer that limits calls to five minutes, that's in the rdb.
